Abhijit Narayan Gorad, a resident of Upale-Mayani, Kadegaon Taluka, Sangli District, has a total property worth Rs 10-15 crores. He also owns a clothing shop, with an annual turnover of Rs 1.5 crores, although the actual figure is said to be Rs Three crores. The annual income from his sugarcane field is up to 15 lakhs. The cost of his shop is Rs 76 lakh, the furniture is Rs 40 lakh, and his residential bungalow is Rs 35 lakh.
According to information received, Abhijit Gorad took the admission of his daughter under the RTE quota in the year 2021-22 to a reputed English Medium School at Kadepur, with the help of a government official. Proof of this is also available.
The question being raised is, if Gorad owns a property worth crores and a shop, why did he take admission of his daughter under the 25% online lottery quota, which is reserved for people with a low financial background?
A few days ago, Gorad was caught red-handed by the Anti-Corruption Bureau while bribing a police officer, and is now out on bail. The question of how much bribe was given for the admission is also being raised.
A thorough investigation and action should be taken against Gorad. Because of people like him, a needy family did not get admission under the RTE quota, as the seat of a poor needy student was reduced forever. It is requested that the government take strict action as soon as possible.
